    I tried making the klepon once , it was so difficult to mold it back into a ball when the sugar is inside the
    glutinus rice. Please let me know how to do it right. Thanks.

    Hi Inday,

    I know it's really hard for the first time. You should mold it with gently when the sugar is inside the glutinous rice.
    I usually make it flat first and then put the sugar in the center. After that make it ball and mold it gently.
    Just keep trying. I know you can do it.

    regards Chef.
